I haven't gotten into nfts myself but to say that they are stupid or a scam now comes across as wishful thinking to cover your butt for missing out.
nfts represent ownership over digital culture, like it or not. digital collectibles. the market will decide whether they are priced like banksys or beanie babies.

without a way to resolve the canonical version without trusting a singular maintainer, git is not a blockchain. blockchains enforce consensus in a decentralized way, at least public blockchains do or should.
